3. | Major reasons for expected decrease in the results for the Period |
The major reasons for substantial decrease in the annual results of the Group in 2020 compared to the corresponding period of the previous year are:
1. | In 2020, due to the abnormal fluctuation of international crude oil market price, the decrease in the selling price of the Company’s products was higher than the decrease in the cost of crude oil and, as a result, the gross profit of the Company’s products fell significantly. |
2. | Affected by the sharply dropped price of crude oil in the first half of 2020 and the declined processing capacity of the Company due to the COVID-19, the consumption of high price inventory was too slow. |
4. | Risk Warning |
The Company does not have any significant uncertainties that affect the accuracy of the contents of this result forecast.
5. | Other information |
The forecasts above represent preliminary estimates only. Specific and accurate financial figures will be disclosed in the audited 2020 annual report to be officially announced by the Company. Investors are advised to pay attention to the investment risk.
